Z THE NICHOLS MURDER.
Public Sentiment Believed to Have
Turned In Favor of the Defense.

Public Sentiment Believed to Have
Turned In Favor of the Defense.
MORRIS, ILL.,, April A. - In the Nichols
murder trial yesterday morning the first
three witnesses called in rebutting, the de-
tense having closed, were T. j. Johnson, Thos.
Murray, and n. Briggs, who were called to
impeach Nels Johnson for the defense. They
contradicted his testimony to some extent,
but did not affect it but little. w.
A. Clapp waiter in the Rock Island depot,
was called to impeach the colored man
Handy, who said Schwartz was there Sun
day morning. His testimony fell short of
impeachment. H. r. Cham5erlin was next
introduced to testify whether Schwartz was
discharged. He said he was laid off but not
discharged until afterward.
AT this point in the case the prosecution
and defense became entangled in a wrangle
which became SO boisterous and dangerous
that for little while things looked very
scary, and the judge discharged the witness
Chamberlain and ordered the State to call
their next witness or close their case The
case is becoming very mOnotonous and
counsel on either side often belittle them
selves and hurt their own cases. Were
it not for the good nature of Judge
Dibell, some of the counsel would
such a manner that they would not have
made themselves notorious in the present
case. Since Gallagher was placed on the
stand public sentiment has been turned in
favor of the defense, and now everybody
says it is impossible to convict on the fimsy
evidence of the prosecution.
AT Tuesday evenings session Drinkworth,
the voluntary witness, took the stand. He
said he was in Joliet the night of the murder
of Kellogg Nichols, at the depot short time
before the arrival of the train waiting for
his wife, whom he expected, and while walk
ing towards the tank at the western end of
the depot platform he saw two rough-lOOking
characters who attempted to hide behind the
tank when they saw him coming. He went
up closer to them and saw both distinctly.
One was much taller than the other and
wore a SLOUGH hat; the shorter man
wore a stiff hat and had a bundle
in his hands He saw them when the
train started out, and saw one of them jump
on the baggage car and the other cross the
track ahead of the engine. He thought they
were trampS stealing a ride and watched
them closely because they were suspicious
looking characters and was afraid they were
going to try and "hold him up" He said he
notified Chief Of Police Murray and others
the following morning as soon as he heard of
the murder. The witness maintained his
position throughout protracted and severe
DISCRIMINATION, though he said it was the
first train which they boarded, which was
not the one on which Nichols was killed AZ
$50 p. m. this witness finished his testimony
and court adjourned until 9 o'clock to-day.
Judge Dbell has expressed purpose to hold
evening sessions hereafter.

Jones and the Florida senatorial Contest,

DETROIT, Mich, April 1.-THE Legisla-
ture of Florida is engaged in the business of
electing United States Senator to succeed
Charles NJ. Jones. Jones is here yet, and his
mood is not such as the beautiful April
weather should have inspired. "Inquisitive
people keep asking me why don't go down
there and look after that Legislature" says
the statesman with a heavy frown. "They
are displaying a wonderful solicitude
for me. They seem to lose sight of the
fact that a man of mature age that has
served in the United States Senate for twelve
years ought to know what is best for himself
No one thinks more of Senator Jones than
do. l feel competent to look after him.
What will do and the reasons for which
will do it rest here, and the Senator thumped
his big, manly breast in a manner indicative
of sound lungs. i simply ask the privilege

Government of ours-that of managing my

Another Belfast Riot.

BELFAST. April l2--The usual Easter fes-
tivities were INDUCED in by various religious
denominations, and following them came
the inevitable riot resulting from any demon
stration of a religious character that may
take place in this town. There was scarcely
any disorder during the early part OF the
day, but toward evening crowds congrc-
gated on the street corners, and az darkness
set in they became noisy and demonstrative
The police attempted to clear the streets but
were attacked by the mob and driven away.
Reinforcements arrived, and another charge
was made upon the crowd, which resisted
stubbornly and pelted the police unmerci-
fully with stones. Finally the officers were
ordered to fire, which they did, wounding ono
man severely, and the crowd fell back but
did not altogether dispense. Desultory stone
throwing was INDUCED in until midnight,
when all became quiet, but the mob are MAX
ing unmistakable preparations for q renewal
OF the battle to-day, and repetition Of last
Summers riots is feared.

NOT \ PARTY MOVEMENT.

The Itasca club has done wisely in re-
considering its action relative to taking
part as an organization in the CLEvE-
LAND demonstration next Monday even
ing. While every Democrat naturally
rejOiceS at an opportunity to manifest
his admiration for president who has
reflected so much credit upon his party,
at the same time it must be remembered
that there is 10 political significance
attached to the presidents visit and that
the demonstration in his honor is in
tended to be of purely non-partisan
character. Mr.. CLEVELAND comes
among us III the exclusive character of
president of the United States, and as
such every patriotic citizen, with
out regard to party utilization,
will desire to pay respect to him. The
members of the Itasca club will have
the same opportunities that all other
citizens will have of teStifying their re-
gard for Mr.. CLEVELAND. But the pres
ence of a partisan organization in the
procession on this occasion would be so
palpably inappropriate as to provoke
ridicule. Like the traditional bull in
the china shop. it would only serve to

an admirable example by deciding to do
away with the hand shaking folly at the
public reception. The great majority
of people do not realize what a tremen-
dous physical strain the president and
his wife are subjected to by the eager

She ordeal of two or three hours con-
tinuous hand shaking can have no pos
sible conception of the wearisomo effect
of being compelled to shake hands with
a crowd of from 5000 to 10000 people in

wearisome by the intense cordiality
of the grasp of the shaker. A
drop of water falling on the

as yet if one drop is permitted to fall
every minute on one particular spot on

The Northern Pacific Losing the

The Northern Pacific Losing the
cific.
The Canadian Pacific road is, through
greatly reduced rates, getting the tea
carrying trade away from the Northern
Pacific. Early in the season the North
ern Pacific entered into the trade with
great expectations, that were well
founded on good legitimate business
principles, but now it finds pitted
against it road that was built by the
Canadian government and cost the
stockholders nothing. Of course, such
road can carry freight for compare
lively nominal sum. AT the opening
of the tea trade of the season the North
ern Pacific sent ship to Japan and
brought over to Tacoma, w. T., large
cargo of tea. This was speedily put on
the cars and sent to st. Paul, and from
this point was distributed to Chicago,
New York and other points. The North
ern Pacific having been so successful in
its first venture, started another ship to
Japan. In the meantime the Canadian
Pacific saw it's opportunity, jumped in,
secured ships, and by making ruinouSly
low rates captured the whole business.
The consequence is, the business is now
monOpolized by the alien line, (which
gets the traffic. says the vice president
of the Northern Pacific, "at an absurdly
low basis of rates, receiving from the
Canadian government sufficient money
to compensate for the difference be-
tween the legitimate standard of rates
by the American lines and the very low
terms upon which the Canadian Pacific
gets its business" The vice president
is confident that the Japanese tea trade

SCALP HUNTERS,

Opponents of Speaker CARLISLE are
diligently engaged in scattering broad
cast over the country stories concerning
the contest of his seat by THoEBE, the
manifest object of which is to injure his
chances for reelection by the Fiftieth
congress. Hon. FRANK HURD expressed
the situation perfectly when he de-
clared recently that Messrs. MoRRI-
son, CARLISLE and himself had been
singled out for slaughter by the Pro
tectionists, who would stop at nothing
to accomplish their ends. From the
pointed evidence in THoEBE's case he
makes the thinnest claim that was ever
presented to congress to unseat one of
its members. There is no pretense that
Mr.. CARLISLE did not get majority of
all the legal votes east, but it is urged
that sufficient returns shall be thrown
out for insignificant errors in the forms
or the time of making them to overcome
the speakers majority of SOC.

There was long debate over the adj

are before the government, and that
they are in constant cable cOmmunica-

to the matter. They are quite hopeful
of satisfactory issue from these negO-

refusing to go on in the face of injunc-

uents, who number about $500 voters,
who do not draw off any material
strength from either of the two great

York is looked forward to with great
deal of interest by the entire country

at a stretch it must necessarily be a
very tiresome exercise. 1t was to re-
lieve Mr.. and Mrs. CLEVELAND of this
almost uncomfortable physical strain that
the committee on arrangements most
wisely determined to lop off the hand
shaking feature of the reception cere-
monies. There are doubtless thousands
of our st. Paul people who would esteem
it great privilege to shake hands
with the chief magistrate of the nation,
and it is an honor to be coveted by any
one to grasp the dainty hand of the
lovely young mistress of the White
house, who holds so warm a place in the
hearts Of the American people. But the
comfort of our distinguished guests is
above all selfish considerations. How
ever much we would love to have
shake of their hands, we prefer to make
them comfortable during their Sojourn
among us. And when they are gone,
the very fact that they were relieved of
this handShaking nuisance will be one
of the many pleasant lecollections that
will retain of their visit to st. Paul.

HISTORICAL COINCIDENCE.

About the hour that President CLEvE-
LAND was delivering an address to a
Chicago audience Wednesday afternoon
the Northwestern Farmers alliance,
which had been in session for several
days, was closing its convention by
adopting a stirring address to the
American people. The remarkable
part OF this historical coincidence is in
the similarity of views expressed in the
two addresses. Both the president and
the Northwestern farmers gave express
sion, in almost the same breath, to the
opinion that it was the patriotic duty of
every American citizen to take an active
interest in political matters. After pay
ing handsome compliment to Chicago
enterprise and expressing his surprise
to find the city so much bigger than
he had expected, Mr.. CLEvE-
LAND used this language: ''You have
said the president ought to see Chi
cagO. l know you will allow
me to suggest that have left at home a
city you ought to see and know more
about. 1t would be we'll to keep your
eyes closely on it all the time your
servants and agents are there. They
are there to protect your interests, and
to aid your efforts to advance your pros
perity and well being. 1t will be well
for you not to forget that in the per-
Torrance of your political duties with
calm thoughtfulness and broad patriot
ism, there lies not only a safeguard
against business disaster, but an import
ant obligation of citizenship" And
while these words were ringind in the
ears of the Chicago audience the farm
erS of the Northwest, in convention at
Minneapolis, were issuing an address to
the people which commenced with this
declaration: ''We hold it to be the
duty Of every patriotic citizen in repub-
lie to be well informed upon all matters
pertaining to science of government.
Every patriotic citizen of the United
States ought, with anxious care, as far
as he is able, to see to it that no detri-
ment come to the republic, either
through his ignorance, his neglect, or
his faithlessness." The two declara-
tions contain identically the same senti-
ment. The farmers and the president
are in utmost accord respecting the du-
ties of citizenship and particularly with
reference to the obligation resting upon
every American citizen to interest him.
self in the politics of his country.
When the whole people have learned
the value Of this suggestion, and live
up to it, there will be a better purifca-
ton of the political atmosphere. 1t will
soon come to pass that political soul
duggery in state and nOtional affairs
will succumb to honest craftsmanship.
